Meet The Istanbul Mosque That Opens Its Doors To Stray Animals

We love awesome news about animals! This past week the media was buzzing with a story of a mosque in Istanbul that isn’t just open for people but also for stray animals as well. Like many places in the world, Istanbul is said to be home to thousands of stray cats, dogs, and other animals. To help give them care and a warm place to stay, the mosque began opening its doors. If the story doesn’t warm your heart on a Monday, then the photos shared of the animals in the mosque will for sure.

It joins a recent story of a restaurant owner who has been doing the same for stray animals in his community. We couldn’t be more excited and happy to see these unique (and special!) ways people are lending a hand to animals.
